The touch of your hand says you'd catch me wherever I'd fall...

Yeppie! Finally we have cleared the POST project also. I secured an 'A' grade. Didn't expect it. But of course it wasn't a bolt in the blue either. We had worked very hard for this.

I remember those Mysore days, where I used to literally cry everyday on phone telling my friends about the following day's test. I had turned out to be a very moody person there. I used to crib big time about the food there. I had not even spared the security fraternity there and even complained about it.

Many of my friends were fed up of my mood swings. I used to scream and yell on the top of my voice, breaking all the decibal control rules. Slowly and gradually, most of them avoided calling. But of course, I don't blame anyone.

All that while, there was one sweet friend who still kept his calm. Listened to all my cries. Tolerated my mood swings.

I remember one special moment which is very close to me.
I come from a family where 95% of the income is spent on food. We love to eat. And don't compromise at all in these regards. That's why the super solid build, we have. But that's not what I want to point out. During the Mysore training, I had a horrible time with the food served there. All continental, bland stuff. The first month, I put up with all the dishes. Some where around the 2nd month, this special friend called me at around 9.30 pm. It was a Friday, the last working day for the week. So I definitely could afford to have a long chat(long chats = till 3am or sometimes even 5am). I was very low since I had not faired well in one of the tests that week. He kept asking me as to what had happened. But you see girls never change. They never answer in the first go.

Around 11pm, I suddenly, out of the blue, started wallowing and sobbing. He kept telling me not to worry about the test and that I would fair well the next time. I told him that the test was not the reason. I was crying because of the bland food I had to have every day. I went on and on and on. In the next 10 mins, what I heard was a sob on the other end of the line. I asked him as to why he was crying. And all he said was "You are having such stuff there, and look at me here, having tasty food everyday".

Now what can someone reply in such a situation. I couldn't find anything to say. Was a very touching moment.

The smile on your face explains all that you need me
There's a truth in you eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'd catch me wherever I'd fall...

You say it best,
